10″ Half-Round Bastard File

If you’re looking for a half round cabinet file with an aggressive cutting action, this is it. Like all Iwasaki files, this one is fast cutting yet leaves behind a very smooth surface. It is the perfect tool for shaping spindles, either by hand or on a lathe. The self-clearing teeth are arranged in curved contours for an aggressive, smooth cutting action. Overall length is a little over 12″; actual toothed surface is around 9″ in length by 15/16″ wide. A user-made or purchased handle is recommended.
